Please remember to thank the unsung heros that love our sport so much, they are working hard so we can play. They work hard both early and late, for not much pay. When we are hot and struggling with our fun Racecars! They are sweeping the water boxes, scraping the track.teching cars, fixing equipment, stocking restrooms,you name it! If not for them, we would not have the races we enjoy today.

Thanks to all who made the BIG GO fun!

Jim, you are absolutely correct. I really had not thought of it. Hats of to the guys and gals that make it happen.

Yes, the guys we deal with in the pits, the staging lanes, at fuel check, in tech, and, Heaven forbid, the Safety Safari, are great people, who do it for the love of the sport. A big thank you and God Bless you to all of them.

Amen jim, wish you could have gotten a pic of the hard working gals in the registration trailer. It's a shame that the good ole boys club reaps all the $$$ while these folks work their tails off for peanuts. I wonder if NHRA realizes how valuable these men and women are ??......M.J.

Great post, Jim! I totally agree!

Redman fan and colleague, Phil Regan asked me to pass this along.

Charlie Budd was a 30 year veteran with NHRA. Some of you knew him as "Slim". He spent many a weekend directing the staging lanes for us. Slim is battling Cancer. Prayers and well wishes are appreciated.
